Telford discovered the fandom in early 2005, and met his first South Australian furry (Shy Cry Wolf) on Furtopia shortly after. This led on to Telford being introduced to other Australian furs. At the end of 2007, he and Yuumei Doragon moved from Adelaide to Sydney to live at The Colosseum with Barbary Lion and Harley Coyote.
As of 2010 they now live on their own in Sydney’s Inner West.

Telford was one of the original administrators of SAFurs.org until October 2007, a website devoted to the activities of the South Australian furry community. He also opened the (now defunct) #Safurs IRC channel on Furnet.

Telford's first suit was a Darkstone Realms fox costume that he purchased secondhand from another fur in 2007. Aside from a couple of Mardi Gras parades it saw limited use due to issues with the eyesight and airflow within the head, and was sold during 2009.
